The night was even worse now since they were airborne, Zuko was hugging Katara tightly as they hanged on to Appa for dear life while Sokka was piloting Appa through the unforgiving weather. Aang and Toph were bundled up in sheets and strapped down to Appa to keep them from falling. They were still half an hour away from Ba Sing Se and Katara wasn't able to heal Aang and Toph because Katara was still too inexperienced and couldn't help their injuries much, she started crying along the way because she wasn't able to help but Zuko was their to comfort her along the way.
Aang was still unconscious, practically at the brink of death and he was having a dream, he was in a field of flowers and he looked around and only saw one tree and a familiar figure near it, it was Toph, as Aang rushed to Toph in the distance ,Toph slowly turned around and said to him in a sweet tone, "Thank you twinkletoes, for everything" and she gave Aang a smile and as Aang tried to give her a hug as he reached her, she disappeared and Aang broke into tears as he blamed himself for not being strong enough to save her, "I was too late", he said to himself as he continued weeping and the world around him turned black and saw a light in the distance, "I have nothing left in this world", Aang said as he walked towards the light, it was comforting and warm freeing him from the bonds of his miserable life.
Toph was having a dream too, in her dream she was surrounded by her friends and family but she was looking for one person the one she cared most of, Aang, she looked around and found him he said, "Toph I really care about you, actually I love you", Toph was as happy as can be as she closed her eyes to give him a kiss, her world changed she opened her eyes in horror her friends and family around her were dead in the battle fields of war and the horrible sight of all was the one she loved dead bleeding with cuts everywhere and he begged for Toph's help and all she could do was watch as he died right in front of her eyes. She wept and wept and the one she loved the most die right there.
As the rest of the gang went on in the weather ever nearing their destination Aang and Toph decided to let go of everything and they only had minutes to live
